Please add to the commit log more context such as what we have
discussed: what's the problem of the current driver, and why we
_have_to_ apply this change though it's sightly against what RM
recommends.

(If thing is straightforward, it's okay to make the text short.
 Yet I believe that this change deserves more than these lines.)

One info that you should mention -- also the main reason why I'm
convinced to add this change: trigger() is still in the shape of
the early version where we only supported one operation mode --
Tx synchronous with Rx. So we need an update for other modes.

The git-diff part looks good, please add this in next ver.:

Btw, the new fsl_sai_dir_is_synced() can be probably applied to
other places with a followup patch.
